The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"Then let's not mention her, let's continue talking about the Immortal Spirit Grass!" Chen Xuan said.

"According to the records in my royal ancient books, this Immortal Spirit Grass is a unique product of the Central Plains! It was by chance that my Zhou family ancestor obtained an Immortal Spirit Grass, which greatly enhanced his strength and enabled him to establish the royal family!"

"So our royal family has such a record?"

"You brat, you haven't married the princess yet!" Zhou Wu glared at Chen Xuan.

"Ahem, we'll be family soon, don't worry about the details!" Chen Xuan said with a grin.

Zhou Wu glared at Chen Xuan, then spoke again:

"But then, about a thousand years later, no more immortal herbs appeared in this mountain and sea realm, and no one knew where they were."

Later, spies sent by various powerful factions to the Chen family revealed that there were still immortal herbs appearing in the Chen family's royal household! Only one herb appeared at a time, and there were always significant time intervals between them! It's highly likely that the Chen family was secretly cultivating an immortal herb!

"So the downfall of the Chen family is related to this Immortal Spirit Herb? And you guessed I'm a member of the Chen family just because I have this?"

"That's right. During the massacre back then, only one direct descendant of the Chen family escaped. He was only five or six years old at the time. I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but he's now wanted throughout the Central Plains! As for whether it's related to this Immortal Spirit Grass, I don't know."

"They're still issuing arrest warrants? He's all grown up by now, how are we supposed to find him?"

"Yes, so Zhongzhou has been turning a blind eye to this matter, but it's still taboo to mention it."

"I see. But why would Old Deng be willing to tell me such a secret?"

"You ungrateful brat! Not only are you surnamed Chen, but you also dare to swagger around and take out such a treasure. If any malicious person sees it, you won't even know how you died!"

Even if you hadn't asked me, I would have warned you about this! Otherwise, if you die, it would be a huge loss for the Zhou family to suffer as a result!

"..."

Upon learning this information, Chen Xuan immediately made a guess about Chen Wenwen's identity. However, he did not reveal his guess but instead expressed his gratitude to Zhou Wu.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. I will pay attention in the future."

"Well, then I have nothing more to say."

"In that case, I won't disturb Your Majesty's rest any longer." Chen Xuan stood up to take his leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Wu called out to him.

"Is there anything else?" Chen Xuan asked.

"I know something about you. You have good talent, and I hope you can treat my two daughters well."

Chen Xuan nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect the princesses. Besides, Jingqi is so powerful, even if I'm not good to her, I might end up in big trouble!"

"Ahem, that's good. I hope you two will be happy," Zhou Wu said.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." After saying that, Chen Xuan walked out of the palace and went back with Zhou Jingqi and her sister.

Along the way, the two sisters kept asking Chen Xuan questions, showing great interest in his conversation with their father. Chen Xuan simply gave a brief explanation.

A few days later, Chen Xuan chose an auspicious day and married Zhou Jingqi.

Zhou Jingqi's wedding was naturally the most exciting event in the entire palace. The entire palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, filled with a joyous atmosphere.

On the wedding day, guests flocked to the scene, and important figures from all the major sects and forces in the Zhou Kingdom gathered together to witness the happy moment of the newlyweds.

Of course, Chen Xuan also received a lot of gifts, and he absolutely cannot let anyone off the hook!

On their wedding day, Chen Xuan and Zhou Jingqi, dressed in gorgeous gowns, walked hand in hand into the hall. Chen Xuan was handsome, and Zhou Jingqi was beautiful as a flower; the two stood together, like a match made in heaven.

This made Han Wanqing feel jealous, so she pulled her best friend Lin Yunhan to a corner and complained about Chen Xuan's womanizing ways.

However, Lin Yunhan was in no mood to listen to her complaints at the moment, and she even let go of Han Wanqing's hand. It would be terrible if Han Wanqing found out about the baby in her belly!

"Yunhan, what do you mean by this?! You're not usually like this, you always listen to me finish!" Han Wanqing was clearly deeply hurt by her.

"Pah, do you think I don't know who you are? Don't think I don't know, you and Chen Xuan are always secretly, secretly... Ugh!"

Before Lin Yunhan could finish speaking, Han Wanqing covered her mouth, and both women blushed.

"Yunhan, how did you know? I was very discreet with Chen Xuan!" Han Wanqing was extremely flustered.

"I... it's none of your business how I know. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it! You really are something else, kneeling down in front of your disciple! This is really, really too much..." Lin Yunhan's face turned redder and redder as she spoke.

She seems to have knelt down as well...

"Stop! No, it's not what you think! I... I did it all for cultivation, really! If you don't believe me, I'll have Chen Xuan come and prove it to you!" Han Wanqing was so ashamed she couldn't face anyone. She hadn't expected Lin Yunhan to know everything!

"No, no need. It's between you and your master... don't involve me!" Lin Yunhan blushed and was about to leave.

"No, no, you have to tell me how you found out today!" Han Wanqing insisted, chased after them, and pulled Lin Yunhan away.

……

Under the witness of the royal elders, Chen Xuan and Zhou Jingqi bowed to heaven and earth, then to each other as husband and wife, before entering the bridal chamber.

The moment Chen Xuan stepped into the bridal chamber, he broke through to the second level of the Golden Core stage.

"Chen, Chen Xuan, how did you break through so easily?"

"Still calling me by my name?" Chen Xuan picked up the jade ruyi and lifted Zhou Jingqi's red veil.

In an instant, the beauty's stunning face was revealed.

Her eyes shone like stars, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like the fluttering of butterfly wings.

She was stunningly beautiful, with exquisite features, like a fairy descended from heaven.

Chen Xuan gazed at Zhou Jingqi's face, momentarily lost in thought. Every smile and gesture of hers captivated him.

"Husband..." Zhou Jingqi looked at Chen Xuan shyly, her face flushed and her voice barely audible.

“That’s more like it, my princess.” Chen Xuan smiled and took Zhou Jingqi’s hand. “As for why I broke through, it’s because I have a treasure that allows me to continuously improve my cultivation, which is why I was able to break through so quickly.”

"This, this treasure is so powerful?" Zhou Jingqi asked in surprise.

"Yes, this is also a treasure I obtained by chance. This treasure can not only improve my cultivation, but also save me from many detours on the path of cultivation." Chen Xuan smiled wickedly.

"I see, then this treasure is truly precious," Zhou Jingqi exclaimed.

“That’s right, this treasure is indeed very valuable. However, I hope you won’t tell anyone. It’s best if we keep it to ourselves!” Chen Xuan said seriously.

Zhou Jingqi nodded earnestly: "I understand, my husband. This is a secret between the two of us, and I will definitely keep it a secret and will not tell anyone."

"That's good." Chen Xuan smiled with relief, then gently pulled Zhou Jingqi into his arms. "Today is our big day, let's celebrate together. I'll also show you this wonderful baby!"

"Hmm! Husband, please take out the treasure and let me see it first. I'm really curious!"
